New Sperlari commercial for Christmas? Done. This time Flavio Ibba and me worked on this Christmas video to write a not-too-stereotyped kind of music for this period, but enough hearth warming.

The second part of teaching experience at the Giuseppe Verdi's Conservatory in Milan is starting again. It'll be more difficult and complicated this time, with twice the numbers of students and two different year program, but I like it and we'll find a way to get along.
